Hello everyone!
In the past Ive had great interest in DemEyesRed's showmatches and even hosted one with him having him as a co-host and the result was pretty great. As with that showmatch (Melkor + Feanor vs Feage + Miguel) I am hosting a purely arina showmatch between our arena fan favourites _Melkor and VIK_Vinchester.
Time:
Sunday 2nd of December, at 19 GMT
Settings:
Bo5
Civs: Players hidden pick from their civ pool in any order they wish. No repeats.
Conquest
MQ (Is a must)
Latest WK version
Match Stats rated.
MrGPN will be the only admin.
Civ pools: Players must pick one civ from each expansion to be in their civ pool.
AoK: Britons, Byzantines, Celts, Chinese, Franks, Goths, Japanese, Mongols, Persians, Saracens, Teutons, Turks, Vikings
AoC: Aztecs, Huns, Koreans, Mayans, Spanish
AoFE: Incas, Indians, Italians, Magyars, Slavs
AoAK: Berbers, Ethiopians, Malians, Portuguese
AoRoR: Burmese, Khmer, Malay, Vietnamese
Map:
Arina (with an I, 1800 hp walls in dark/feudal).
REs:
One RE for each player during the best of 5. The re must be intended to be used pre 4 minutes. (I.E if someone pauses 3.59 to say "Re" then unpauses and resigns min 4:01, it counts)
Admin RE:
To keep it simple, admin REs are what are most expected from tournaments and obvious things such as bugged resources. Upon seeing bugged resources or anything you may consider an Admin RE, pause and contact the admin. The admin himself will message the player upon noticing a bugged map. It is optional to the player whether to take an Admin RE or not. One tree thick woodlines blocking a back area (even if no resources can be seen trapped behind it) are an admin re. Other admin re's include starting walls making contact under any circumstances and I have the final ruling on any decision.
Streaming Policy:
The showmatch will be streamed on my own twitch channel exclusively; www.twitch.tv/mrgpn - Other streamers are not allowed to stream this showmatch. I politely request that the players do not stream their points of view, to allow for more concentration to make more intense games. There is no co-caster however I may decide to have one by the time it comes to happen.
Prize Pool:
The prize pool is $50 (USD) for the winner. Additional funds may be provided by me or by other individuals of which I will split amongst an additional prize for the winner and a prize for the loser in whatever way I see fit. If you wish to donate to the prizepool, send me a message or donate to me via the links on my twitch while the games are being casted live specifying that it is for the prizepool.
VODs:
VODs of my cast will likely be uploaded to my YouTube channel and Ill post the link here when they are up. Players are allowed to record their points of view during playing to upload to any media platform of their choosing (including premier VOD playback on Twitch and YouTube)
Thanks to DemEyesRed for letting me use his posts as a template. I don't expect these to be big matches or to get much viewership, but I want to see some good arena players we don't normally see play some games and hope everyone enjoys it.
